I reckon Schwarzer saved more goals and did more for Oz to be man of the match than Lucas Neill who was the SBS winner of Man of the Match.
All in all it was a great game and I am proud to be an...

No mate it is a 10" Left Tilting JET Table saw JTAS-10XL with a 50" XACTA Fence. Have had it for a few years now and am over the moon with it. Does all I want it to and more :):):)

It is one monster of a screwdriver that's for sure. :):):)

Thanks again.

G'day fella's,
I have checked my 'small' chain and although it is a bit loose I doubt I could shorten it by a link - so going by what others have said it looks like they are meant to be slack....

Alex,
That was the roller that had the loose grub screw on mine as well - the outfeed drive roller was tight - I have checked alignment and at this stage all appears OK on mine.

Hi guys,
I've just been fiddling about with the machine and was checking as to why the chain would've come off and noticed that the grub screw on the right hand side drive roller sprocket was loose...

Gumby,
Might be an idea to check your bearings - mine didn't collapse like Bob's but just made a terrible grinding noise and although only one was stuffed I replaced both.
They are the bearings...

Bob,

Check your PM's.

Will do that for sure if and when I get it back together again. :):):)

Bob,
Another quick fix if you get sick of waiting - try CBC or any good bearing supplier and you can get them from there - they are the bearings used in skateboard wheels, elctric drills etc. A...

Bob,
I have had the same problem - on mine the bearings (577) went only a matter of days after I got the machine. Took about 7 weeks for the bearings to come (luckily for CBC I was able to get some...

Wallace,

ccb,
Check your PM's as I have replied to yours.
